<p>On behalf of the government, DCMS has been reviewing its approach to the UK’s global
semiconductor sector and intends to set out its support for the sector in the forthcoming
UK Semiconductor Strategy. This will build on existing HMG support for innovation
and infrastructure such as the Driving the Electronic Revolution challenge and the
National Epitaxy Facility, amongst others.</p><p>Domestically, the government is exploring
how we can further support the UK semiconductor industry, protecting and growing existing
UK capabilities, and seizing new opportunities - including in semiconductor design,
compound chips, and academic research in related fields. We are also collaborating
closely with international partners to capitalise and strengthen the UK’s competitive
advantage and improve long term resilience within the global semiconductor ecosystem,
recognising that the challenges facing the sector cannot be solved by the UK alone.</p>
